Both the striated and smooth muscle esophagus exhibit a resting tone that can be measured by a barostat [207, 209]. In the smooth muscle esophagus, this tone is due to cholinergic excitation that is largely vagal dependent, modulated by nitrergic inhibition. The tone is influenced by afferent information, enhanced by intraluminal distention, and inhibited by a swallow [125].
